How to use Amazon gift card balance partially.

LPG cylinder price: 803

Current Amazon pay balance: 202

Planning to buy Amazon gc worth 250 from gyftr smartbuy ( at 7.05% discount). 


After this purchase, my total Amazon pay gift card balance will become 202+250= 452

I want to book LPG cylinder using Rupay debit card on coming Friday. But if I will use GC balance then I will not get complete 100 rs discount. 

How can I partially use Amazon gift card balance. 

On gyftr portal 100rs Gift card is not available. Minimum is 250 only. 

Are there any alternative methods to purchase a gift card that provides a similar discount to SmartBuy? Additionally, do they have a 100 rupees gift card available in stock?

I don't have sbi cashback credit card.

Order an item worth 149 before making bill payment and then cancel it post making the payment

I received an email from Amazon last Oct warning me for further consequences because I had a little too much order cancellations frequently, so I understand if you don't want to cancel an order unless it is really important.

I paid for the lpg booking yesterday in the very exact way that you're looking for. However, my Amazon Pay wallet was almost empty, so I was able to buy and add a gift card for the exact amount needed (lpg price - 500). So at the payment page, I was only needed to pay ₹500 which I paid using the Rupay Platinum DC. Also, the Amazon app wasn't allowing partial payment through the wallet, so I switched to the website and it worked.

Another way is to buy voucher from MyJio app, and pay using Amazon Pay wallet. That way, your wallet balance will be utilised and you can use or transfer that voucher to anyone else if needed. And if all this seems too much, then the last option is to place an Amazon order and then cancel it later as suggested by others here.

Use the cancel option ., no issue if you do it before shipment.... Suggest to book something in Amazon fresh for late delivery slot .. book your lpg and then cancel fresh order

I think amazon has stopped allowing usage of apay balance with card. I tried electricity bill last month, it wasn't combining.

If it works for you then buy food voucher of 150 crom magicpin using apay balance and then get it refunded after the transaction.

I faced the same issue yesterday when the Amazon app wasn't allowing partial payment through the wallet, so I switched to the website and it worked.

Cool! Idea. Thanks for sharing. 


But doesn't these kind of things lead to account being blocked.



Is there any other thing that I can do. Like making a payment using amazon pay balance that will eventually fail after some time because details are incorrect. 

For example: I used to do this to rotate money from cc.


Paytm> Prepaid bill payment > Enter my own jio number but changed provider to MTNL > Choose plan and then pay > Recharge used to go into processing state > After 5-10 minutes, recharge failed and money refunded to wallet. 




I know this is not even right, but still this is less risky then cancelling shopping orders.
